Cheers Theo Z.....................
Rob Walker had a set of these years ago in a ute, are they the same ones or a second set.
Am sure Custom FC has a similar set in his car

The Vauxhall Cresta lights in the FC at the top of the page work well and look custom. I have a picture of an FC wagon and a sedan with the same lights somewhere.

Sure is, from memory it was a Victorian built car from the early 80's. Was originally Red, and driven to the 84 Street Machine Nationals
Alex, Custom fc knows more about it.

You could go old school with a modern twist.
French these LED 39 Chev units into 2 seperate tubes each side, whilst roughly maintaining the original shape and positioning.

Think about including some motorcycle stores/wreckers in your wanderings.
